    Summary: DoS due to excessively large websocket message in ws

    Details: Affected versions of `ws` do not appropriately limit the size of incoming websocket payloads, which may result in a denial of service condition when the node process crashes after receiving a large payload. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.1.1 or later. Alternatively, set the `maxpayload` option for the `ws` server to a value smaller than 256MB.
